Arctostaphylos white

You may encounter White Manzanita, a data entry representing cultivars of manzanita with distinctive characteristics. This entry documents Lanterns, a cultivar reaching 3-4 feet with white flowers and notable ornamental value in zone 7 landscapes.

White cultivars tolerate sun to part shade with moderate to low water needs on well-drained soils. Specific site requirements match parent arctostaphylos species; avoid wet, heavy soils. Though limited data exists for this particular designation, expect susceptibility to the diseases and pests common to all arctostaphylos in the PNW: rust, leaf spot, phytophthora dieback, and various scale insects.
